Very poor class. Nothing was taught before the first essay was due, actually there was no English taught in the entire term. This class is huge waste of time and money. Instructions were poor and the advice was worse. Bleck would simply talk the entire class about random things then tell us that our next paper was due next week. DO NOT TAKE THIS CL

Terrible class. The Prof was very political and did not give any time for opposing arguments. He did NOT teach any English or writing skills. It was a huge waste of money, I wrote a letter to the dean after the course was completed complaining. All the time is spent discussing politics and trashing opposing povs. Take Eng. 101 from a different prof

DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS! Drop the class if you've already signed up. Unclear expectations on assignments. Absurdly high volume of homework. Final project is an HOUR long presentation. You can automatically fail course over 5 different ways, which are not made clear from start. Excessively harsh & subjective in grading. Negative learning experience.

Hated this teacher

He talks for days, literally DAYS. He isn't helpful at all and is confusing when giving instructions on assignments. I would NOT recommend taking his class.

This class is hard. Expect to write a lot and spend a lot of time reading the plays with little to no help at all. He never told us anything about our grades till the final and even then it was obscure. This teacher disregarded what I had said during class because he didn't like me for some reason ,I hated this teacher. I do NOT recommend.

He is not good at explaining things, he doesn't teach, I do not look forward to his class, I feel like I am gaining nothing.

Very unclear directions. Overly political for an early American Lit class, or any class for that matter. Terrible class dynamic with a bare minimum of an hour and a half spent on homework each day. Lackluster, almost incomprehensible teaching style and no respect for disagreement. I would have learned just as much if I had read the books on my own.

He is not clear with anything. He will say something about an assignment then online it will be something different. He is not clear with what he wants during class or outside of class. He is a very hard grader. He does not like running start students either. But he does not explain anything. He also lectures a lot about stuff that does matter.

Really confusing directions and he seemed to be really full of himself. He based our whole class on political issues in China, which wasn't relevant to our class at all. Every single activity had to do with China and their culture.

Took the online class. it was really difficult to understand what to even write about. He wasn't clear on a lot of things. Wasn't helpful when I needed the help.

Do NOT take his class. Avoid like plague. he is very unprofessional on many different levels. You can try your hardest, turn everything in on time, pass the portfolio and best you can do is 3.0. If you're happy with that and working your butt off take the class. Also his directions are not very clear

Absolutely the worst professor I've ever had. Horribly unclear in his expectations of assignments. He is a has a severe superiority complex. He has no ability to connect to his students. Get ready for horrible lectures, little care for his students, and then a bad grade because he doesn't care in helping his students out. Terrible teacher.

DO NOT TAKE THIS PROFESSOR! He never explains anything clearly. At the beginning of the quarter it was very easy but a lot of homework and in the last week of class you have to do a final essay, a final group presentation, and a final test plus he only gave the 25 page study guide to the class not even a week before the test. Very stressful

He never explains anything clearly, but it is usually on canvas, so not bad. Started easy with a lot of homework and the last few weeks there were so many assignments and final projects. Asked him all quarter what the final was going to be on and he finally answered with a 25 page study guide less than a week before the test.

Bruhs DO NOT TAKE THIS TEACHER let me tell you he may seem like a nice teacher but he is insanely disorganized he starts off slow but near the end he gives out huge assignments along with a study guide with little to no time to study for the final exam group presentation and what he demands is pretty unclear and daily assignments being really long

Black taught the same nonsense at College of Southern NV. His method of teaching is to humiliate you on writing topics. For instance, an essay I wrote about my parents was positive, and his response was, 'so, your mom and dad let you do whatever you want'? That was followed by similar crap. Some review from a supposed instructor.

One of the worst professors I've ever had, he seems like a cool dude at first but makes the class hard just for the sake of it being hard. Very unclear directions, very unorganized so half the time you don't even know what to do, and grades extremely harshly. I am usually a fairly good student but am barely just scraping by in this class. RIP

Horrible proffessor. Would never take again. Gives horrible feedback if any at all. He is very very unclear with his course expectations. His paper prompts are confusing and will grade you harshly on things that werent expressed as an expectation. He is somewhat sexist but tries to cover it with comedy. He is not willing to talk about grade.

I read the bad reviews for this professor before I took the class, and I gave him the benefit of the doubt anyway.... all the bad reviews are right. He is the worst professor I've ever had. I am an english person, I only missed 5 classes and it was an every day class, and I almost failed. Horrible feedback, confusing instructions, no organization

The course was the most unorganized class Ive ever taken even in high school. Every professor grades differently and has different expectations especially in English class. Yet, instead of addressing what he was looking for in a paper he waited until you did all the work before making you feel like an idiot. HORRIBLE TEACHER.

His instructions on his assignments are extremely unclear, he changes his mind about what he wants and how he wants things done often. He does not provide good feedback and is not helpful when questions are asked. Hes sexist and very opinionated. He also does not give letter grades until the end and without exemplary work, you can only get a B.

He is a total liberal so if you are conservative you definately won't agree with him.

What he "taught" the whole quarter could be condensed into a 2-hour video. He had us read this book called "The Cold Millions"(incredibly boring) and write a research paper on a Spokane Landmark? The emphasis was not on English writing skills at all it was on learning about a landmark. If you do the many MANY pointless assignments, it's an easy A.

I haven't had many problems with sfcc, but this professor was awful. He said very blatant sexist remarks and would go on rants for the whole period that had nothing to do with the class. He also gives A LOT of homework/ group work, so if you aren't into that then don't come near this class.

Honestly, at first, I had high hopes, but as time passed, I realized he assigned an abundance of busy work and was a harsh and unfair grader. In class, he would make off-handed remarks about many inappropriate topics. He picked on those asking odd questions and blatantly laughing at them. He's not a good teacher, and I hope he doesn't continue.

This man is the most confusing teacher I have ever had. His instructions were so messy most of the time and it was really hard to keep up without spacing out or having to double take the instructions. He overlaps assignments, so there was one point where I was working on 3 essays at a time. Tons of tedious and seemingly unhelpful assignments.

Let me preface all of this by saying English is my favorite, and I tend to take criticism well. I'm also not afraid of hard work. His class was horrible. He made me cry and humiliated me TWICE in class. He told me that I needed a smaller social life, fewer friends, and to cut my hours at work so I could turn his pointless homework in.

He barely teaches, there is an assignment of every single day, and class time is usually spent working on those assignments or him rambling about random things

He posted the final project (called draft 3 of essay 3) on the day it was due with no prior indication that it was a thing. don't take this class as him as the professor, please.

Professor Bleck has unclear instructions for most assignments leading you to have an incomplete even after following the directions because you don't fit the exact way he wanted you to write the assignment even if you fully completed what was expected. Lots of discussions and group posts that he grades harshly as well even if completed correctly.

Bleck would rarely give me feedback and even after redoing assignments multiple times to the criteria would still give me a zero, at the end of the quarter when my grade was struggling he literally told me to give up. Majority of this class was him going on about riding his bike and it was like talking to my grandpa with dementia, save yourself!

Avoid taking this class if you can. Professor Bleck has unclear instructions and harsh grading. Lots of busy work and group assignments that he critiques unfairly. I found unstuck ai and ChatGPT helpful for study prep, but this class was a real struggle.

Was not the kindest in the slightest. Assignment directions would seem clear but then he would give you an incomplete because it wasn't the way he wanted. Get any other English professor if you plan on taking English 101.

His lessons became very political and off topic. He assigned work like it was going out of style and was little to no help. Half the time his examples were of him editing and writing his newspaper collum, never on the topic we were working on. He definitely favorited people and stated once that he forgot my table due to all of us being women.

Labor Based grading and is very harsh with his final grade given out. would not take this professor unless you want to learn a new way of learning and spend upwards of 2-3 hours a night on top of class that day just to meet his standards of a B. Have o go above and beyond class assignments and requirements to earn higher than a B.

He's the worst teacher you will ever have don't ever take his class. He's so tuff at grading and gives so much homework.
